ROBERTSON, ROBERT: Where in North Carolina might the
ROBERTSON Families coming early from Scotland, I believe from
Argyll, have settled? I believe our ROBERTSON Families came early to
North Carolina, settling on the eastern coast area. I believe as
early as 1715 or 1745. Might this be the area the Families settled?
My grandfather ROBERT ROBERTSON, one of the youngest, if not the
youngest, was born c.1833. No other member of this large family is
known. Apparently ROBERT, one of a large family of boys, was
orphaned at an early age. According to census records ROBERT's
parents too were born in North Carolina. ROBERT and CATHERINE A.
GARBER married September 3, 1859, Douglas County, Illinois. One son
was born in Illinois, five more sons were born in Indiana before the
family settled in southeastern Colorado where ROBERT died April 8,
1905. Any help would be very much appreciated. Mabel I. Robison,

I have the following lines: BARNWELL, BYRD, STRICKLAND, RUSSELL,
WHITE, WATKINS and WEAVER. I believe that RUSSELL and STRICKLAND
might possibly be Scottish. Am I correct? I am quite interested in
the RUSSELL Family, since my great-grandfather married in Hall
County, Georgia, in 1824 to MARTHA RUSSELL and his brother married a
MARY RUSSELL. I think they came to Georgia from South Carolina. I
would love to hear from anyone who could help me with information
about them. Ms. Marion E. Watkins, 1434 Hawthorne Way, East Point,

There was a woman born probably late 1880's - 1900, name of VERTA
MAY TROGDON. She was a midget and, as such, worked in the
circus. I am thinking she was born down Missouri way though not
positive. I do not know what circus she worked for. I have seen a
picture of the circus barn which promotes "May, the Midget." She
eventually married a fellow named HAROLD SMITH. My question:
Anything available on circus(es) and which (names) circuses she
worked with? If you have any information, please let me hear from
you. Kenneth R. Johnson, CDC #K05791, Bldg. 481L - RM 64, P. O. Box
